Rhodesia isn’t really a liberal democracy in the way Americans use that term. It’s a democracy. But it’s an ethnic democracy; a white democracy. It’s a concept that makes some Americans, in particular, deeply uncomfortable.

Plaudits sure but what stopped the previous two Democratic governors?

They're just saying a better world is one where you have the time and means to pursue your passions? Are we really mad at this?

Ignoring the fact that all these gray haired people are most certainly not posting on Twitter, there's nothing stopping centrists from sitting outside Republican senate offices and protesting. Literally just a bunch of posters angry the left isn't doing work for them.

Nah, it's the lead poisoning they got in adolescence from tetraethyl lead in gasoline.

Blood lead levels.

If you're going to clip chimp at least make a convincing edit that doesn't cut her off mid sentence.

Radical Chrislam!

Swalwell's that ends well.

To translate this for Democratic consultants, accountability is an 80/20 issue.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

Israel's support in the EU will also take a hit. Imperialists of all stripes are having a bad day today.

folks they’re calling him the Dim Reaper

ORBÁN CONCEDED

Did Orban even say thank you once?

With 45% of ballots now counted, the opposition (Tisza) is leading 52% to 39%, and is projected based on current results to win a supermajority of 2/3rds that’d allow them to amend the constitution.

Another Trump endorsed candidate coming up short.

This week, I'm meeting with Maine US Senate candidate @andrealaflamme.bsky.social. Last week, I met up again with Graham Platner and will be attending one of his events next week. Then, I'll be writing my final thoughts and observations on him. I'm planning to write about Andrea as well.

I would venture to say the human face melting of the T-800 isn't the problem, it's the fact it's a T-800.

That 38% includes the people managing your 401ks by the way.

Yeah so here's the thing.

ha! yeah so we need you to fire on that chinese tanker. don't worry about it

This is exactly how his donors would think about a nuclear strike to be fair.

Millennium Challenge 2026 here we come.

Greta Thunberg is right.

Record numbers of voters are going to the polls in Hungary today for the country’s national elections, which could dislodge Viktor Orban—the far-right leader allied to far-right parties worldwide—from power. We’ll start getting returns after polls close, so after 1pm ET today.

That same community will tell you we need to build more housing to make it affordable again, so which is it? Are people the best off they've ever seen or are they struggling with the problem of where they'll even live in a way their parents never had to?

Trump's never seen a rent extraction scheme he didn't like.

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

A hit hilldog will holler.

I see what you cheer for, your boos mean nothing to me.

Not what I said but considering we watched Biden supply a genocide for two years and then had Kamala lose to a used steak salesman because she, by her own admission, wouldn't distance herself from him indicates they are both those things.

Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in

The cool thing about Bluesky's partially silo'd algorithm is I have no freaking clue who this is or what's happening.

The fact that Israel was allowed to commit a slaughter in Lebanon was the big tip off that this was just an attempt to stall for time.

Nope, Liberals spent years pre-Bernie convincing themselves that they were smarter and more moral than Republicans. Then he came around and pointed out their ideas are worse than decades old existent social democratic ones and they'll never forgive the left for telling them they also suck.

Good thing @ericswalwell.bsky.social didn't make a habit of video tapping his sexual misconduct or he'd be in real trouble right about now.

Those of us who remember the late seventies can tell you that it’s always a good sign when they start writing the numbers on the gas pump by hand.

Why do these people love the worst Democrats imaginable?

Swalwell's endorsers are fleeing (Gallego, Gomez, CTA) and I don't expect him to get much grace. CA Dems were already frustrated that no one would quit the gov race. Swalwell jumped in fairly late (after Porter's gaffe) with this sword of Damocles hanging over him

Nowhere does it say there should be an embargo. This is just another way of saying "condition aid" which was her stance on Iron dome, that we can give aid to an apartheid state if they're a nicer apartheid. Stop trying to make her into a candidate she can't even do a good job pretending to be.

we've got a reporter on the ground in Beirut covering not only the Israeli bombardment but the fraught domestic political situation prospect.org/2026/04/10/l...

I for one am glad people who can't be bothered to read have so much influence in Democratic party politics.

Intelligent dinosaurs exist and they kind of suck.

"I am in favor of a two-state solution but oppose recognition of that second state" seems to be the median opinion of a particular kind of Democrat who still holds all the cards when it comes to center-left foreign policy thinking in DC.

They're just 'Der Stürmer' posting all the time.

Calling all our South Asian friends — join us on Sunday, April 19th for a meal prepared by Chef Ranjan at New Delhi restaurant. Come with your questions and an appetite. I'll be in my kurta, and I hope to see you all in your best cultural attire as well. RSVP with the link in bio.

College grads aren't working at Starbucks, their knowledge jobs are just more like a Starbucks job now.

They had the votes for a war powers resolution and decided to go on vacation instead, I wouldn't hold your breath.
